  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 0.5 cups Unsalted Butter melted
  • 0.5 cups Greek Yogurt room temperature
  • 0.75 cups Dutch Process Cocoa Powder or natural cocoa
  • 0.5 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 0.5 cups Brown Sugar packed
  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 cups Chocolate Chips any variety

Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until pudding-like. Aim for about 1 to 1.5 cups.
  3. Combine the melted butter, egg, sugars, vanilla, and Greek yogurt with the bananas. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients, folding gently.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
